These peanut butter balls have been a treasured Christmas tradition in our family for over 24 years. I’ve always made them side by side with my mother-in-law, and now my little girl proudly joins us in the kitchen. Watching generations come together over this simple, sweet treat makes them even more special.
It’s no surprise these candies never last long—every batch disappears faster than the last!
